Rsync-2.6.5 Client

rsync is a utility for
fast incremental file transfers. If you want to install it, the
instructions can be found in Chapter 24 – rsync-2.6.5. Note that if you only want to
use the client, you do not
need to run the server and so do not need the startup script and
links. In accordance with good practice, only run the server if you
actually need it (and if you don't know whether you need it or not,
it's likely that you don't!).
